🇸🇪 #OnThisDay 50 years ago: Jody Scheckter made history, leading Patrick Depailler to Tyrrell's last 1-2 at the #F1 Swedish GP - and the only one with twelve wheels! 🛞 Niki Lauda's P3 was his worst '76 finish to date(!) and James Hunt was a quiet fifth. 😮‍💨 #GettyLaudaVsHunt

#OnThisDay 15 years ago: #F1 endurance race?! 😮‍💨 The four hour, red flagged 2011 #CanadianGP remains the longest F1 race in history. ☔️ Jenson Button went from a crash with McLaren team-mate Lewis Hamilton to seizing the win when Sebastian Vettel ran wide on the last lap! 🤯

Famously, during the 1936 International Trophy, Evans' class leading MG caught fire exiting the Home Banking - quite unfazed, she slowed the car enough to leap out before it crashed, sustaining only minor burns. 😮‍💨
Born #OnThisDay 110 years ago: Doreen Evans, who began racing at @BrooklandsMuseu at just 17. 👧 Evans was part of a groundswell of female racing drivers in the 1930s, taking MGs to class and outright wins. 🏆 #WomenInMotorsport

👑 #OnThisDay 30 years ago: At a sodden 1996 #F1 #SpanishGP, Michael Schumacher - fresh from a lap one DNF at Monaco - put in one of the drives of his career to take his first Ferrari win, often lapping FIVE SECONDS faster than anyone else in the unloved Ferrari F310! 🤯

🇲🇨 #OnThisDay 50 years ago: 1976's #F1 team to beat, Ferrari ran riot in Monaco - Niki Lauda ended practice early, took pole and won easily! 💁‍♂️ Tyrrell's P34s dealt perfectly with the tight turns for a double podium. 🙌 James Hunt? Spun early on, then suffered engine failure! 😫

#OnThisDay in 1981: Bobby Unser took his third #Indy500 win - and was stripped of it by Monday for passing under yellow out of the pits! 🤯 Reinstated on appeal in October, an unhappy Unser soon retired, and the acrimony cost him and runner-up Mario Andretti their friendship. 😔
